The current solid waste plan was approved in 2019. It covers activities from 2019 through 2028. Major points of our solid waste plan are:

Comply with the goal of providing recycling opportunity to at least 90% of the district population through direct provision of recycling
services in each county and through private efforts of local governments and recyclers.

Rather than designate specific facilities
to receive waste, the district uses all available facilities - both in-district and out-of-district.

Provide education and technical
assistance to all sectors (general public, communities, businesses, and industry) to reduce waste and increase recycling.

Manage
hard-to-dispose materials through the private sector wherever possible, and encourage residents to purchase only items for which there
is adequate disposal or recycling services.

Encourage the purchase of recycled content products and support development of new
markets for recyclable materials.

The plan adds a priority of reducing dumping of trash at recycling sites and along roadways. It also budgets funds to address the lack of processing capacity in the District in 2020. The plan, in its entirety, may be viewed by clicking the link below.
